Yeah. A couple of times, ok. It can happen. But I've seen counts that indicate well over 70 times. Not a high number by any means, but it is far higher than just randomly running across them. These are not heavily trafficked web sites and twitter feeds. They are things you have to deliberately search out. Now I suppose it is possible that someone outside of the campaign is feeding these things to the Trump campaign and they are stupid enough to not even bothering to check out the original sources. Not sure if that sort of stupidity is much better, actually. I would be shocked to find that the various campaigns don't try to seed their opponents campaigns with all kinds of false information and graphics with hidden fish hooks. That sort of rat fucking is but a simple extension of stuff that has been routine since Nixon. So yeah. A couple of times, ok. Maybe they let their guard down, or maybe Trump volunteers aren't the sharpest spoons in the drawer. Apologize and make sure it doesn't happen in the future. But the Trump campaign has done it way too many times for that to be credible. Unless they really are that stupid. I don't see how that helps the situation.
